Speaking about the shows in a press release, company partners Toby L, Tim Dellow and Lilas Bourboulon jointly state: “We are thrilled to celebrate the first twenty years of Transgressive. It’s a harrowing understatement to remark upon what a challenging time it is in the world right now, but we hope that the activities we’re planning can continue to shine a light on the irrepressible, unifying power of music and art, and the potency and strength of the human spirit.”

They continued: “To kickstart our anniversary, we wanted to reflect the eclecticism and inclusivity of the company’s roster and culture by putting together some communal moments. Since our earliest days, we’ve curated and staged shows and events, and it felt like the most natural way to share the joy and gratitude that we feel for making it this far.”

In other news, Arlo Parks is set to perform at this year’s edition of Glastonbury and All Points East.
